Getting zMUD auto-mapper to recognize [NESW] expressed exits in room title
|
I've just joined a new MUD. I want to use zMUD's automapper, but I don't know how to get the mapper to recognize
the exits. They are appended to the room titles like so:
A Dank Dormitory [NESU]
Where NESU would mean exits are North, East, South, and Up, for example.
I also have the option of asking for 'exits' which gives me a message like:
Visible exits:
North - The Newtown Tavern
East - A Small Closet
etc.
How would I set up the zMUD mapper to adapt to this new mud I joined? |

Try this:
#regex {(.+?) \[(N?E?S?W?U?D?)\]$} {#tag name %1;#tag exit %2}
Once you've done that, you'll need to reconfigure the mapper (make sure you uncheck the description box) and it'll hopefully start working. |

You can also try the built-ins. In the mapper preferences dialog, on the 'Room Exits' page, there are checkboxes for 'Exits in Room Name' and 'Single-character Exits'. Give 'em a whirl and see how you do.

It seems to be working properly now. Thanks!
Found one minor problem. Occasionally rooms are marked [NESW Quit] for example, where 'Quit' means it is a safe place to quit the game. Other locations are marked 'Save' for a similarly transparent reason. When my avatar enters such rooms, the mapper doesn't record the room or the move into it. |

dunno what the ? really means, but it looks like a stringlist separator. If that's the case, try adding ?Quit to the end of the list.

(.+?) \[(N?E?S?W?U?D?)(?: Quit| Save)?\]$
should do the job.
Matt: the ? makes whatever's before it optional. So it's an optional n, optional e, optional s etc etc. Then it's also optionally " Quit" or " Save". It's a bit like using [neswud]+ except it won't match nnnn or something. |
